    So I have noticed gaps like this in several areas of the front and back bumpers... Also while we're talking about things falling apart..... Any body notice how much vibration there is in doors Whit radio on or when closing doors etc.. etc.?

    I have the same issue. I took it to the dealer and they ordered a new plastic trim piece, thinking it was actually the tabs on the trim. The new one wouldn't clip in, either and they said it was actually the bumper cover that needed to be replaced, and that I would have to work through the body shop to get that handled. From there, I just decided I'm going to live with it. Mine is a lease, and it is documented, so I'm not worried.

    Vibration when radio cranked, yes. Closing doors, no, not yet.

    My passenger side is separating as well. They are just plastic tabs holding them on. I will use some 3m double side tape to fix the issue later. That is if I do not get the streamline wintch bumper witch first.

    Probably a "characteristic" of the truck.

    All the plastic on the front seems like a large bug is gonna destroy it while I'm driving down the road! Still not sure how these trucks hold value so well, everything on them seems cheap. My chevy wasn't worth sh!t and felt like a tank!

    MF dealerships, I swear nothing pisses me off more than their bullshit and how much you have to fing push to get work done that shouldn't even be questioned.

    mine is going in for some tabs that busted off because of a collision with a Blur Heron.
    Heron lived somehow....
    anywho, pushed in a fog light and busted some tabs in same area. Maybe somebody bumped you in a lot when you were not around?

    My truck is a week old with the same issue. Doesn't seem loose, just a bit of a gap & looks like the clips are not totally attached...
    Notified my dealer who said that they have it noted for my first service!
